Chapter 16:
A Dangerous Future is seen

-Flashback-:
Naruto sighed, as Jiraiya had finally left. He laid down on his bed. He looked at the crow next to him.
He smiled. Things were turning out quite interesting.

He heard the front door open and close again, he began to sit up when he noticed it was Iruka.
"Iruka-sensei." He smiled as he sat up completely, his legs falling next to the bed.

"Naruto…" He said softly, looking at the blonde in front of him.
"I didn't think you had the guts to come here though. I know about the rule that everyone should stay away from me." Naruto looked at him. His face was serious now though.

"Yeah, well you are my student. So I chose to ignore that rule."
Naruto laughed. "Never thought you would say something like that. I was the one breaking all the rules and you always followed them."

Iruka smiled a bit, seeming to remember the small blond boy who would always get into trouble. But despite that and despite Naruto having the kyuubi inside him he had grown to care for him.

"Mind explaining me in what kind of trouble you got yourself into now, naruto?" Iruka asked with his teacher's voice.
Naruto smiled at it.

"I didn't get myself into trouble this time, Iruka-sensei. The people of Konoha got trouble now."
Naruto answered.

Iruka sighed and looked sad, while he eyed his student.
"What can I do to help you, naruto. I do know you have been hurt. But I never thought you would come her like this. It seems and it feels like you have the intention to break or kill all the people inside Konoha."

Naruto looked back at the crow. "That might be true. Konoha has hurt enough people, Iruka-sensei. They need to pay for it one day you know. And if that never happens they will just continue hurting people and using them."

"You simply get used as a ninja Naruto. I thought you would know that by now."
Naruto smiled. "There is a difference, sadly. Getting used ok. That is how we live as ninja's. But what is wrong about it that we are used to keep Konoha safe, while the higher up people here in Konoha pull the strings they want. Not caring about the price the ninja's will pay. Not caring if they end up dead. Don't you think that is wrong?"

Iruka looked at Naruto. "Yes, I do think that is wrong if you state it like that."

"You know Iruka. Sometimes I wished I hadn't been born at all. I see or I saw no reason to live."
Iruka eyes Naruto as he saw that Naruto wasn't lying.

"I should have helped you 3 years back, shouldn't I?" Iruka stated as he smiled sadly.
"Then maybe I would have been able to help you."

Naruto returned that sad smile. "I doubt it. I didn't let anyone in. I never wanted anyone to see how messed up I was. Although I slipped once. Someone has seen me cry."

"You could have cried for me too naruto. I would have just accepted you."

"I bet you would have Iruka." Naruto smiled. " But it was a weakness I rather not showed to anyone. It would only have added to their fun to see me cry, to see me broken."

"Naruto. That day when you had hit those boys. What exactly happened?" Iruka asked.

Naruto stood up and walked over.
"Let's move somewhere where you can sit if you want to know more." Naruto said as he walked towards his dining room and pulled out a chair as he sat down on it. Iruka followed that example.

"To be honest, no one ever asked me about my side of the story." Naruto said as he looked at his sensei.

"I ask it now and I want to know." Iruka answered.
"There is no reason why you would have to know. It's in the past, nothing you can change about it."
Naruto closed his eyes. Well maybe it was a good thing to let the truth out.

"I beat them and I hit them, because they were beating me up too. I only fought back."

Iruka looked at the closed eyes. Naruto's words cut into him. But Naruto had never been damaged. He never had bruises or anything else.

"Before you say it's not true and say that I never had any bruises or cuts or anything. Think well about it." Naruto's eyes remained close.

Iruka thought about it. When he finally understood his eyes widened. "The kyuubi…"
Naruto opened his eyes, red eyes looked back at Iruka.

Iruka looked at them. Instead of being afraid like he might needed to be, he was looking at the red eyes. He felt guilty, hurt. Naruto had been abused. But he never had the wounds to prove it. Cause the kyuubi's healing powers.

"How often…" Iruka found he couldn't finish that sentence as he closed his eyes. "How… how could this be. Why didn't I notice. I should have known…"

Naruto's eyes turned blue again as he watched his sensei breaking down when the truth had hit him.
"Of course you didn't know, cause I never let it show."

Iruka opened his eyes. Blue eyes, filled with hurt, hatred, anger, betrayal.
"Why? Why Naruto? Why did you never come up to me and tell me?"

Naruto sighed. "It wouldn't have made a difference. They would have abused me still. Naming me your favourite student." Naruto smiled a bit at the last sentence.

Iruka laughed a bit. Then he looked up at Naruto.
"I want to help you. You want revenge yes?"

Naruto looked at him. "I rather not get you involved in anything, Iruka-sensei."
Iruka grinned. "Consider me involved, since you told me the truth about your youth, Naruto. I don't want to back down now."

Naruto smiled. "Thank you, Iruka-sensei." He gave a small bow at his teached.
"But well promise me this then."
They looked at each other. "If I have left the village, come back here. I will leave a message for you. But be sure to take Kakashi-sensei with you."

"Kakashi? Why him?" Iruka asked.
Naruto only smiled, not giving an answer.
Iruka decided it was time to leave. He promised Naruto he would be back to retriever the message. Naruto had said no one else could get the message so they didn't have to worry. It was for them only.

After Iruka had left Naruto looked at the crow.
"Well. You stay here from now on, 'Tachi."
Itachi snorted. "I guessed as much."

"I will leave the message hidden inside the crow. Only someone with a sharingan will be able to activate the message." Naruto moved forwards to the crow as he let his chakra run in it, creating the message as a genjutsu they would see.

Itachi felt and saw the genjutsu being created. He saw the images he wanted to show his two former teachers. He then understood what Naruto wanted to do.

End Flashback!

Konoha:
Iruka tried to regain and understand what he had seen. But he kind of wished he could erase what he had seen. This what was Naruto wanted.

Konoha burning, people dying. They needed to pay, but still the images had hurt.
Iruka then looked at Kakashi who was also trying to grasp what he had seen.

"Kakashi…" Iruka said softly. Kakashi looked at the other.
"Do you still want to help Naruto, Iruka?" Kakashi asked him.

It felt like an extra sting in his heart. He did want to help Naruto, but the images. Weren't they going a bit too far…

Iruka softly closed his eyes and felt the tears running. "I don't want Konoha to disappear. I don't want to see what I have seen now…"

"Same for me. But Naruto don't wants us to die. We got to make a decision. Stay and protect the city or leave with the people he want to keep safe. "

Iruka knew it was true. They needed to decide and somehow he was glad that Kakashi had been here with him, to witness this. So he didn't have to wear this burden all alone.

Iruka looked back up at Kakashi, who was still looking at him, wanting to know what decision he would make.

"Staying will mean dying… we can't fight the Akatsuki and the kyuubi. It will be the death of us…"

Kakashi stood up and stretched out his hand. "So we will run and hide. To never feel the wrath of the kyuubi and Naruto."

Iruka smiled at the way Kakashi had turned it around. "So it seems." Iruka grabbed his hand as Kakashi pulled him back on his feet.
"So shall we gather the people then?"

Kakashi gave a small nod, they better leave soon. It didn't hurt to leave. But it did hurt knowing they were going to abandon the citizens.

Hokage's office:
Jiraiya was sitting there, trying to catch up with everything. Shizune had made sure he would fulfil his duties. Just like she always did with Tsunade. It was kind of comforting though, but still they both missed Tsunade. The whole city missed the Hokage.

Jiraiya had kept it a secret that she had left willingly. She had it all planned, but she didn't know how it was possible for Naruto to have realized what she wanted, maybe they did already have a kind of deal before it all.

"Jiraiya-san".
Jiraiya looked up and saw an ANBU bowed before him.
When the ANBU knew he had the other's attention he continued.
"We found this in the forest." He stood up and handed Jiraiya a paper.
"We believe it was the paper that Tsunade still held when Naruto had taken her away. Should we investigate it further?"

Jiraiya looked at the paper. It was the list for S-Class ninja's, at first Jiraiya didn't understand why Tsunade had hold on to this. Then he noticed. Naruto's name was on it.
But after Naruto's name stood. 'Take me with you. I want to speak to the leader.'

Jiraiya looked up and saw the ANBU still standing there.
"Yes, please investigate it further. Dismissed." The ANBU gave a nod and left immediately.

This was the missing piece of information that Jiraiya had wondered about. He had heard that she had showed Naruto the missing nin's list, but now he understood why. A silent message, everyone was unaware and thought the Hokage had been kidnapped, but she had wanted it.

The irony…
But still what the hell was Tsunade thinking…

Then he heard knocking on the door. He sighed. He had a lot to think about right now he didn't want to be interrupted.

"Please come back later. I have a lot to think about right now." He replied to the person knocking on the door.

"It's important, Jiraiya." Jiraiya looked up as he heard it was the voice of Kakashi.
"What is it about, Kakashi?" He asked.

"It's about Naruto." Kakashi replied.
Jiraiya's eyes widened. "Come in." Kakashi opened the door and walked in, followed by Iruka which closed the door behind them.

"What is it about Naruto?" Jiraiya asked as he looked at both of them.
"We found out what he is planning. Well part of it at least."

Jiraiya stood up. "How did you find about that?"
Iruka walked closer. "I talked to him the night he was staying here. He had said to me to go to his house when he had left Konoha. Cause he would leave a message for me. And he also said I should ask Kakashi-sensei to accompany me."

Kakashi then looked at him. That was the first thing he had heard about that.
"What was the message he had left then?" Jiraiya asked.

"Well." Kakashi started. "He wants to see Konoha destroyed and to see the villagers suffer."
Jiraiya looked at both of them. "You are kidding right?"

"I wish we were, Jiraiya. We got caught in a genjutsu, most likely created with Itachi's help, since the genjutsu was sealed in his crow. But the images showed us, a city burning. Destruction. Cries for help from countless people that were dying. If you had seen what we did you would understand. He will kill us all if he gets the chance, Jiraiya."

Jiraiya tried to shallow all this information that Kakashi had said. The silver-haired male would not lie about something like this. But then this information was awful.

"He also wanted us to gather people." Kakashi said.
"People? For what?" Jiraiya asked, trying to make sense of all this.

"People he doesn't want to hurt or people he cared for. To keep them safe." Iruka said.
"You are one of these people, Jiraiya. He wishes that those people would leave Konoha, before they die or get hurt."

"I can't leave. Not with Tsunade gone. The city will fall apart with a leader right now and Tsunade wanted me to lead them." Jiraiya said, as he shook his head.

"I understand. We can't force you." Kakashi stated.
"You two are going to leave Konoha behind?"

Iruka nodded. "We don't need to feel Naruto's hatred or the kyuubi's wrath. And honestly staying and fighting is no option. It is a lost fight Jiraiya."

Jiraiya knew that was true, cause Tsunade had been afraid for this. The Akatsuki were dangerous and strong, skilled ninja's. and besides that to fight off Naruto who controlled the kyuubi powers. It was a dead wish indeed.

Jiraiya sighed. "I can't let everyone die here… the citizens. They are innocent people."

"Jiraiya. Naruto has been deeply hurt. No one knew about it all. Those people in Konoha are all the same for him, except for those who did accept him. We have seen some things of his past too, and to be honest I would have went insane if I were in his shoes. They treated him worse like shit."

Then they all heard knocking on the door. Jiraiya closed his eyes in irritation and sighed, before replying. "Come back later. I have an important meeting."

They thought that the person would leave, but instead of leaving the door was opened and Sasuke walked in. He looked angry. Angry at everyone, his sharingan was activated as he looked at Kakashi and Iruka.

"I can make a guess. It's about Naruto." Sasuke stated coldly.
"Leave, I told you to leave! You got no permission to enter." Jiraiya said as he glared at the Uchiha.

Kakashi noticed seemed was terribly wrong.
"What is wrong, Sasuke?" He simply asked.
"If you are going to learn him some manners, do it outside of the office after we are finished, Kakashi." Jiraiya stated.

"I found out about something. And I find it rather intriguing it has been kept a secret to me. Since if someone needed to know it would have been me." Sasuke stated, looking at Jiraiya.

Sasuke walked forwards and threw a scroll on the desk before Jiraiya. Jiraiya looked at it, noticing it was from the archives.

"You- you took a mission scroll out of the archives!? You know that isn't allowed right." Jiraiya stated as he looked back up at the Uchiha, who was simply glaring at him, quite angry.

"Just read it." Sasuke said, while he picked up the scroll and show it in the other's hands.

Jiraiya eyed him and then watched back to the scroll as he opened it and began to read the contents.
His eyes started widening the more he read. This was…

"God dammit!" Jiraiya screamed, as he threw the scroll on table and turned around.
Sasuke looked at the scroll as he collected it again and put it away.

Jiraiya looked at the city. "How did you get that scroll?" Jiraiya asked.
Kakashi and Iruka looked at each other, wondering why Jiraiya was so upset.

"I got into the archives. I had a permission letter from the Hokage."
Jiraiya then turned around. Shock on his face. So Sasuke explained further.

"It got arranged through Naruto though. I hardly doubt that the Hokage knew about this."
"Through Naruto?" Jiraiya asked.

Sasuke gave a nod. "He had left me a letter at my home. In which stood that if I wanted to know the truth I should look into the archives. Next to that letter was this permission letter, signed by Tsunade." He handed Jiraiya the paper. As Jiraiya indeed noticed it was the Hokage's seal on it. He knew that Naruto had been playing his cards well.

He looked up at the three persons in the room. He had lost 3 or maybe even more ninja's today. Because Naruto had been able to pull them away from Konoha somehow.

Jiraiya laughed. "I can't believe this. This is Naruto's doing." Jiraiya closed his eyes. "He is damn clever. Hate to admit it."

"If I may ask, what was in that mission scroll?" Kakashi asked.
Sasuke turned around, looking at his sensei.
"The truth. Konoha had given, Uchiha Itachi the mission to assassinate all the Uchiha's."

Kakashi eyed him, shock visible in his eyes. Same for Iruka.
"I see." Iruka said. "They are both working together to destroy Konoha."

"Yes." Kakashi replied. "That explains why those two are so close. They have the same goal."
Jiraiya kept quiet as he knew more about it. It wasn't only their goals that had bound them.

But despite that. They were a dangerous combination. Jiraiya looked over his shoulder. He could not let these people die. And he had an advantage, cause he knew they would come to Konoha. But when they would come he would make sure the city was empty.
